Organising Park and Street events - guidelines, hints and rules

This page will provide course setters and other organisers with the information needed to run a successful Park And Street event. Although written primarily for the successful and larger Melbourne series, the information should also assist organisers of regional and growing StreetO series.

Current Course Setting Guides

The Park and Street course setting guides comprise four documents.
Choose the correct series-specific guide for your event from section 1;
then use EACH of the three guides in section 2, which apply to all
events.

Please use these guidelines for course setting and organising an urban EndurO event. Please note they were revised in May 2016 for the changes from 75 mins to 90 mins for the Short course, and changes to answer format from multiple choice to Yes or No.
